Networking Exercise02 - Myfiles

You are sometimes allowed send computer files TO or FROM a server - depending how it's been set up.
That's basically what "FILE SERVERS" are all about!

When you send a file TO a server, it's called UPLOADING.
When you retrieve a file FROM a server, it's called DOWNLOADING

         1. You MAY get a "pop-up blocker" security warning - click DOWNLOAD
         2. The download may not work the first time - repeat the above 4 steps until you actually get the DOWNLOAD dialogue asking you whether you want to OPEN or SAVE the file - Choose SAVE and send it to your desktop
   3. Open the file on your desktop using MSPAINT. Maximize the window so it filles your screen and type your name in it. "Save As" the file using your name on the front of it, and then close the file.

Good Luck!
